History ComicBook / DoubleDuck

* WhamEpisode: Two of them:

* AdaptationalIntelligence: If [[ComicBook/PaperinikNewAdventures Papernik]] is the most badass adaptation of Donald, Double Duck is surely the smartest. Indeed, [[spoiler: the Agency used his brain to create the AI (who is the Agency's Big Boss) because of his "lateral thinking".]].

** In this series, when she's wearing a classy opera dress, even the flat chested Daisy gets ''cleavage''. Yes. ''' Daisy.'''

** "Reboot" may not be a ''literal'' reboot of the series, but changes everything: [[spoiler:the Agency has been officially disbanded, with some of their members, including Donald and led by Liz Zago, continuing their activity illegally anyway; the Direction, the criminally incompetent replacement of the Agency, is not only completely ineffective, but has revealed to the public the identities of the Agency's spies except Double Duck before forcing them into being glorified security guards and has driven Kay back to crime; Head-H has faked undergoing the [[LaserGuidedAmnesia Total Reset Button]] and betrayed the Agency's loyalists to the Direction, before the remnants of the Agency hits him with the real TRB; Donald arrests Kay; the Organization is apparently taken down for good, or at least made harmless, [[EvilVersusEvil partly thanks to the help of the new spionistic organization Actinia]], that has also recruited Kay]].

* WhamLine: "Agent Zero" has Donald drop one while talking with Daisy:
-->"I am Paperinik too."

** "Reboot" ''begins'' with [[spoiler:the Agency being disbanded and replaced by the criminally incompetent Direction, which in addition to its complete ineffectiveness, is trying to reveal to the public the identities of the Agency's spies]].

** The ''Timecrime'' crossover establishes that the series is set in the same continuity as ''ComicBook/PaperinikNewAdventures'' and the PIA series (a series of stories where Donald and Fethry worked as secret agents to protect Scrooge's economic empire). It also shows that [[spoiler:PKNA's Organization was created by Axel Alpha and a traitorous Time Cop, and named after its ''Double Duck'' counterpart]].

** This has quite a few shout-outs to ''Film/JamesBond'' films:

*** The most blatant one is the country of Belgravia, which first appeared in PKNA (with a map to show it's location), then returned in ''Double Duck'' (with an identical map), with mentions of president Nestor Grimka (who appeared in the final PKNA Belgravia story, admitting he was about to retire) and his not-so-smart son Grigorji (who here has succeeded him). Both the issue that introduced it in PKNA and the ''Double Duck'' story that features is created by the same guy, Francesco Artibani.
*** A less blatant one is Bruce Wong's training- in function, it's essentially identical to a similar scene in PKNA, but it differs in that Lyla Lay gets thrown by her instructor(rather than kicked) who tells her never to trust anyone(essentially the same message, but phrased differently).
** One of the exclusive cover for the [[Creator/BoomStudios Boom]] edition (on ''Donald Duck and Friends 250'') is a reference to the first cover of ''ComicBook/{{Incorruptible}}'' published by the same editor.

* SweetTooth: It turns out B-Black is one. [[spoiler:Donald takes advantage of this by giving him a bugged licorice dispenser as a gift]]
* TheTroubleWithTickets: Donald finds his 313 has been given a ticket, he's pretty ticked off - after all, he's never even been to that part of town before! Turns out he ''was'' there, retiring from The Agency. Throughout the first story arc, he tries to get out of paying it, but the VastBureaucracy stumps him and he finally pays the fine.

** "Timecrime" establishes the series is set in the same continuity as ''ComicBook/PaperinikNewAdventures'' and the PIA series (a series of stories where Donald and Fethry work as secret agents to protect Scrooge's economic empire).

** "Reboot" ''starts'' with [[spoiler:the Agency being disbanded and replaced by the criminally incompetent Direction, that, in addition to its complete ineffectiveness, is trying to reveal to the public the identities of the Agency's spies]].
* WhereDoesHeGetAllThoseWonderfulToys: Very much subverted: When GadgeteerGenius Gizmo equips Donald for his first mission back with The Agency, he takes Donald on a quick tour of his lab, showing him all the recent developments, including "laser pens, radar pencils and sonar markers" (Donald asks [[ComicallyMissingThePoint if they can write]]), but as Donald's taking minimal equipment with him on this mission he gets... a cell phone. It doesn't even get great reception...
* TheWorfEffect: A villain example in the crossover "Timecrime". [[spoiler: Alex Alpha, thanks to help of T-32 and his device, take down the leaders of the "Organization" and "Division" and delivery them to Agency to show his power.]]
* XanatosSpeedChess: Both Donald and the Agency's big boss are this, the former due his experience with Scrooge, creditors and the unexpected and the latter [[spoiler: because he's an AI based on Donald]].

Created in Italy, the storyline was introduced in April, 2008. Scripted by Marco Bosco and Fausto Vitaliano. It has proven popular enough to become [[AlternateUniverse its own separate canon]]..until the crossover confirmed several ties to ComicBook/PaperinikNewAdventures universe.

* AdaptationalIntelligence: If [[ComicBook/PaperinikNewAdventures Papernik]] is the most badass adapation of Donald, Double Duck is sure the smartest. Indeed [[spoiler: the Agency use his brain for create the AI (who is the Agency's Big Boss) because of is "lateral thinking".]].

* BikerBabe: Kay K that often use a motorcycle.
* BruceLeeClone: The Agency's hand-to-hand combat instructor Bruce Wong. Like the original, he's a CombatPragmatist, and will teach his victims-er, ''apprentices'' the same mindset (the first time we see him he announces Donald he'll fake hitting him with a punch and then ''kicks'' him [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom across the gym]]. He then gives him the first lesson: never trust an enemy).
* ClingyJealousGirl: Daisy every times that she catch Donald with Kay K.

** The PBI ("Paperal Bureau of Investigation") that were in ''ComicBook/PaperinikNewAdventures'' also.
** Another ''huge'' PK cameo appears in the "Code Olympus" story arc, featuring the Republic of Belgravia (a PeoplesRepublicOfTyranny), complete with mentions of the characters Nestor Grimka (as the former president) and his son Grigorji (as the current one. He didn't get better from his appearance in PK), and Paperinik's Extransformer shield in Gizmo's lab. [[LampshadeHanging When Belgravia is mentioned, Donald remarks he's familiar with them]].
* {{Crossover}}: The story "Pk vs Double Duck: Time Crime", with ''ComicBook/PaperinikNewAdventures''.

* FemmeFataleSpy: Kay K; in her first apparation she has no problem to use her beauty to manipulate male characters like Donald. [[spoiler: She was the criminal Red Primerose who introduce herself in the Agency replacing secretly the director Jay J. After all, [[{{Foreshadowing}} she did say that all good spies lied]] and that [[{{SuspiciouslySpecificDenial}} Red Primerose wasn't necessarily a man...]]]]
* GadgeteerGenius: Gizmo that provide all the gadgets for the Agency.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Like many Italy stories there some duck version of RealLife vip. For example the "Pole Position" story has as one of main character Paperonso, the duck version of the F1 driver Fernando Alonso.

** Kay K is pretty... forthright for a character in a Creator/{{Disney}} comic. Then again, it seems Disney Italia [[ComicBook/PaperinikNewAdventures has a record for that sort of thing...]]

* [[PunnyName Punny Title]]: The story, concerning TheOlympics, is titled ''Olimpici Code'', an obvious ShoutOut to ''Literature/TheDaVinciCode''. Sadly, it doesn't quite work in English.
* TheResenter: Initially B-Black to Donald becuase in the past has caught Donald looking through his desk drawer locker.

** In the "Agent Zero" storyline Donald confesses being Paperinik (Duck Avenger) to Daisy in Kay K presence. Doesn't count for Daisy, who gets her memory wiped immediately after, but for Kay K and the Agency...
* SecretTestOfCharacter: The entire plot of [[spoiler: "Hunters and Prey"]] turn out to be a complicated simulation created by the Big Boss to test his agents, especially Donald.

* TheRival: B-Black is this to Donald.
